As of the new year, drivers or operators of a vehicle will be obliged to purchase a motorway vignette when using the charged sections of Slovak motorways regardless of the country of registration of the given vehicle. This obligation also applies to vehicles registered in Ukraine. The new legislation repeals the exemption introduced in the Slovak Republic as of February 2022.

This year, the Slovak motorway authority has introduced the 1-day motorway vignette in Slovakia. Almost 740,000 1-day vignettes have been sold since its launch until now. Despite being introduced only in the second half of 2024, the 1-day vignette has become the third best-selling vignette in Slovakia, with the 10-day vignette still being the most popular one.

As of today, motorists can purchase the new edition of the electronic motorway vignette 2025. Národná diaľničná spoločnosť, a.s. (the National Motorway Company, hereinafter referred to as “NDS”), has launched the sale of electronic motorway vignettes with updated prices and also introduced several changes concerning the offer of the e-vignettes.

The adoption of the updated General Terms and Conditions of Electronic Vignette Payment of the Electronic Vignette Payment Collection Administrator has led to the simplification of several procedures such as the refund of vignette payment or the correction of an error in the entered vehicle registration number. Moreover, everything can be done electronically via the Eznamka.sk web portal

As of August 1, 2024, motorway bypasses of several cities in Slovakia will be exempt from motorway charges. It means that a total of 200 km of motorways will be made available to drivers without the need to purchase the motorway vignette. This change aims to relieve the traffic overload in bigger cities and to redirect the transit traffic from the city centers to the bypasses.
